Mezametara Saikyou Soubi to Uchuusenmochi Datta node, Ikkodate Mezashite Youhei toshite Jiyuu ni Ikitai - Vol. 9 Ch. 43.2

Foreshadowing, foreshadowing everywhere. Be prepared, even if you don't know what for, lol.
Also, I have always found it strange that English speakers write numbers so weirdly. Like 3000 is normal, three thousand, but 2500 or 1200 is 25 hundred and 12 hundred respectively, instead of normal thousands.

It's really simple actually; it's just making things shorter and easier when speaking. 30 hundred isn't shorter than 3 thousand, but 2 thousand 5 hundred is longer than just 25 hundred.

tanks for the food

 

[Grevados]

That's a facehugger the statue animal is eating, innit?

Pretty sure it's a reference to the movie Alien, so yeah.

 

[YuriM]

Naga's style is still popular in this universe.

 

[SardonicJester]

Bring extra condoms.

There should be no condoms in sci-fi.

 

[jhs_reika]

There should be no condoms in sci-fi.

Then bring more viagra and contraceptives.

It makes more sense if you consider it from a currency perspective. Using USD as an example, all denominations greater than $100 were discontinued by the US Department of the Treasury over 50 years ago due to lack of use, and even before then, it was exceedingly rare for any transaction to use them instead of a check or some other form of currency exchange. So $2500 for most people would be 25 $100 bills, or twenty-five-hundred.

Funnily enough, Japanese has the opposite problem, where the number system actually doesn't go high enough, so larger numbers like 100,000 or 1,000,000 have to be stated in terms of 10000 (万/man). So 1,000,000 is expressed as "one-hundred ten-thousands".

This manga has given me Outlaw Star vibes since the beginning. If you've never seen it you might want to give it a watch.

Ridiculous title and cute girls aside, I still stand by Mouretsu Pirates/Bodacious Space Pirates/Miniskirt Space Pirates as having a fantastic representation of what space combat and living on a spaceship would actually be like.

 

[ThreeTakeWonder]

I really like the way the characters faces and expressions are drawn in the manga, I always think of this art over the LNs art.

 

[Bibliothecarius]

Thnks for the chapter!

 

[Shiden]

Like 3000 is normal, three thousand, but 2500 or 1200 is 25 hundred and 12 hundred respectively, instead of normal thousands.

When speaking, "twenty-five hundred" is five syllables, "two thousand five hundred" is six. Likewise, "twelve hundred" is three, and "one thousand two hundred" is six.

Whereas "three thousand" is three syllables, while "thirty hundred" is four.

If you're writing in a manner that reflects spoken language, then spoken conventions are maintained. If you're writing just to convey a number, then you just use the number.

yay more!!! I am reading the novel, but I really enjoy having visuals. Can you imagine this as an anime, I feel like it would feel different than the manga and novel, but in a more exciting way, like a mix between interspecies reviewers and I can't think of a good space action besides one that has a completely different tone like Cowboy Bebop.

There is one part in the novels where MC's spaceship interior is described as looking like a comfy highclass hotel after the various modifications he's put in (he makes sure he and his crew get the best) compared to other mercenary spaceships, so I imagine while other ships look like Cowboy Bebop's: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/...LEpzP4M8qdSiz2XQz0r_hKIH-PC3V4xeM3P5p1Fg&s=10

MC's will look like this.

Yeah lol, to be fair tho, it'd take the the manga a long time before we see the chameleon cloaks get some use and the portable cooker in 3-5years of waiting for the manga.

 

[CapnAndy]

Chapters without anyone saying “hum”: 2

[IvanDFakkov]

He needs a bigger boat.

Outlaw Star, Irresponsible Captain Taylor, Vandread, or Dirty Pair might be good for series that have different tones.

From an indonesian currency perspective Rp2500 is a perfectly normal amount of change so we prefer saying it in full and no one uses the hundred system, so in fact that shit’s mildly confusing as hell to me. “Mildly” because i’ve seen enough American usage of it to get somewhat used to it, but i hate it. Somewhat coincidentally, our largest paper bill is the 100k…we prefer using “k” or “rb” (ribu, the indo word for thousand) for thousands

 

[Hughmann27]

Really enjoying this. They’re doing a great job of bringing the LN to visual media. The art is spot on. Good job on the translation too.

 

[eng1]

You shouldn't buy stuff you don't know the market price off. Easy way to get ripped off

I don't know where the k notation came from when it comes to money but I think it was borrowed from the metric system since kilo is k and it represents 1000. Well that's just my theory as that's the only thing that makes sense to me as when representing million the m is used and and b for billion for shorthand notations.
